PRAY HANDS by Matthew LaPenta x K.OLin tribu

“Whilst The difference between celebratory slappage and pious reflection doesn’t quite come across in the abstracted world of emoji: a schism has long divided fans of an icon that may depict either, debating whether or not the “Prayer Hands” emoji could also be used as a “high-five”. Whatever your opinion is about the emoji, dailydot may change your opinion. One release that’s set to bring up the controversy again will be “Pray Hands” Porcelain by Matthew Lapenta x K.Olin tribu. Clearly, Matthew Lapenta thinks its Pray Hands and that’s we think the classic emoji means even though beams of light have been removed from the emoji.

K.Olin tribu is happy to collaborate with a new artist: Matthew Lapenta. Matthew began to explore emoji as a sculptural object in 2013. Bringing the digital icons into the third dimension in traditional mediums such as bronze and stainless steel. Collaborating with k.olin tribu, Matthew continues his exploration of traditional mediums with porcelain.
“Pray Hands Emoji” is an iconic image that represents many different things to many different people across the world. Words like respect, gratitude and honour, come to mind when using the emoji. We hope this sculpture brings all of these high vibrational words into your life.
